I'm curious why you are concentrating on Congress. It seems like the biggest obstacle to getting rid of big money in politics is the Supreme Court rather than Congress. Heck, congress actually passed McCain-Finegold, but the Supreme Court gutted the anti-big money provisions in Citizens United. As long as the government isn't allowed to restrict spending by corporations, association, and unions, it seems like Congress can't really take big money out of politics.
How do you propose to accomplish your goals of getting rid of big money within the strictures created by the Court?
